I just wanted to know what you eat before your swim practices or meets whether it be early in the morning or evening.
Thanks

The Fish-- great question! I'm with you. Does anyone have any suggestions for liquid or gel snacks before evening practice? I eat during the day but I have to stop eating at 2 pm in order to keep it down and not feel like a brick. Practice is at 6 pm and I feel like crap up until I start swimming. Peanut butter, bananas, bagels, etc., are too bulky and weigh me down or come back up during the swim. Simple carbs put me into a sugar low (fruit, soda, Gatorade) unless it's right after a bulky lunch (and that's too early in the day). Has anyone tried GU gels? Thanks!
